The fate of the world falls in the hands of Major William McGriffin
when two self-styled revolutionaries, an American scientist and his
lover, team up with a terrorist army deep in the heart of remote
Africa and devise a plan to steal the deadly cache of nuclear
weapons on Alpha Base in this thriller by Dr. Doug Beason, Chief of
the Plasma Physics Division at Kirtland Air Force Base. Home to
America's nuclear stockpile, Alpha Base is threatened by the daring
plots of a terrorist army from the heart of Africa and their
American allies, Dr. Anthony Harding and his lover, Vikki Osborn,
motivated by money, power, and their own twisted glory. As acting
commander of the United States Air Force, Major William McGriffin
must set aside his longing for the intoxicating freedom of flying
jets to recover the hijacked nukes, which may turn out to be the
most exciting-and dangerous-mission he has had yet. With over
30,000 warheads, if Alpha Base is penetrated, no one on Earth will
be safe. It's up to McGriffin, cut off from his command post, to
implement a surgically precise counterstrike to retake Alpha,
knowing that if he makes one mistake, the entire world will pay.
A footloose Air Force pilot and an unproven Marine Corps commander
spearhead an elusive mission to rescue the President of the United
States after Air Force One is seized in this action-packed
high-tech thriller with "a gripping tale of military professionals
doing what they do best" (M. E. Morris, Author of Alpha Bug). In an
act of savage terror, the President of the United State is seized
on Air Force One with its location pinpointed to a remote and
hostile African country by an American space spy station. With the
power to strike any where in the world in under one hour, The
Marine Corps Rapid Deployment Force must save the day. With the
help of the RDF's secret weapon-the Trans-Atmospheric Vehicle flown
at 15,000 miles per hour by the Air Force's most elite pilots,
carrying a deadly cargo of highly trained marines-it is up to one
footloose Air Force pilot and an unproven Marine Corps commander to
catapult their men and machines into the heart of Africa. Their
mission: free the President and get out alive.
